Back when I was a kid, I had a scooter (non-motorized) that I would ride until the tires popped... and kept riding once Dad replaces the tires. One day I was riding around in the neighborhood cul-de-sac when I saw a bright, thin blue line appear in front of me. I rode through it since I had no time to stop. When I was able to stop and turn around, the light was gone. I have no idea what that light was and I have never been able to find out, but I know it was there and I rode through it.

It was vertical and there was nothing I could see overhead that would have made it. The line was straight and very thin, like if you held up a piece of yarn a foot in front of your face. I thought it was some sort of lightning, but there was no force from it.

I’m not going to rule that out, especially considering it was almost 30 years ago, but I don’t think it was spider silk. I’ve run into stray strands before and this was different. That was a good thought though!

This happened to me and a buddy. But it was white color, and kind of sparkled a little bit. It occurred literally, right between us as we were having a conversation at a gas station. Less than 3 feet between us. It was well lit evening, and the gas station lights were extremely bright already. We checked the floor, and felt for spider webs, and I wiped my hand across the concrete, thinking maybe there would be some kind of glitter, or liquid or something. Nothing.

It was so amazing to see that we both were just crazy trying to describe it. It was like the best CGI trick any movie could create. A white line, suddenly appearing and disappearing. RIGHT BETWEEN US! We could have touched it (but were afraid) and it lasted less than 2 seconds.

Other people have seen this, btw. In 20+ years of talking to folks, I've only found a few, but it has happened to them too. If it was electrical, I would be worried that it happened while I was pumping gas. Weird shit.
